HBCU family, I hope that everyone is having a great start to the New Year!
We know that our favorite filmmaker Spike Lee, who graduated from HBCU Morehouse College in Atlanta, definitely is and in part to Netflix recently announcing that his first film since “BlacKkKlansman” will be streaming straight to your smart TV, game console, PC, Mac, mobile, tablet or whatever device you watch these things on nowadays.
The latest Spike Lee joint is called Da 5 Bloods. But get this.
HBCU Howard University graduate Chadwick Boseman is starring in the film.
We love when a pair of HBCU alums team up to make better happen!
From IndieWire.com:
Spike Lee’s “Da 5 Bloods” stars Chadwick Boseman, Paul Walter Hauser, Norm Lewis, Delroy Lindo, and Jonathan Majors in the story of four African American vets who return to Vietnam, searching for the remains of their fallen squad leader and the promise of buried treasure. The film is Lee’s first since winning an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay with “BlacKkKlansman.”
Another year of movies is ahead of us! We’ve mentioned a lot of these films already, but here’s a handy list of all the films coming to Netflix this year…so far. (thread)
